Biggest mentor and the best advice received: My mom always said to give 150 percent to everything you do in life. At a young age, she taught me to be a strong, independent woman, which I feel has helped me be successful later in life.

Greatest business achievements: Advised an institutional fund on the acquisition and financing of the tallest office building in the southern cone of South America. Advised an institutional fund on one of the largest potential real estate mergers in Mexico.
